vwdeviant 0 Posted December 29, 2008 OK guys am getting my KW's fitted to the Valver very soon... So advice on what's the best top mounts to go for front and rear? Do I go with VAG VR ones? It's a 2.0l16v late model, if makes a difference... Also going with VAG A-Arms as it's all coming apart... is there a difference between late and early valver arms?

Jim Bowen 1 Posted December 29, 2008 i just put KW1's on my corrado too, its a VR though i went with all new top mounts from VW, in fact i orded more than i needed and have all the washers, spacers and sleeves from the rear mounts spare (was no point changing them) it only came to £75 ish for all 4 and thats with me wasting money again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted December 29, 2008 the old rear rubber bits didn't look worn to me, until i compared them to the new ones, they were easy 5mm smaller in height Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted December 29, 2008 no :lol: not been able to get it all setup yet, camber, tracking etc and i'm still convinced something else is wrong with the front end. Not really driven far since fitting, but the suspension is so much better than before, much nicer over bumps and is plenty of height adjustment (raised my front and can get my foot in the gap now) "SCENE" just a shame my car steers all over the place Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted December 30, 2008 I went with the VR ones for my valver and they're fine but they do make the front of the car sit a little taller - not a problem for you if you're going for fully adjustable suspension though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Jim, was that front and back? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted December 30, 2008 I didn't realise there was a difference on the back, but I think I just went with valver rears! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted December 30, 2008 The rears aren't different AFAIK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
